This review is from: A Cumulative Index to the Grammar and S of Biblical Hebrew (Hardcover)

This book is generally designed to help a beginner for Biblical Hebrew grammar and syntax. Although it may be intended to reduce a time for researching all Hebrew reference grammar and syntax, the its usefulness can be questioned. Firstly, it is not an exhaustive index. It covers only 14 references before 1996 including 7 English written references such as GKC (Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar 1910) and IBHS (Bruce K. Waltke and M.O'Connor. An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax 1990),which excludes 'A Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar by Merwe, Naude and Kroeze in 1999.' Secondly, it only has an index of Biblical passages, not an index of subject or Hebrew word which is useful in Biblical word studies and exegesis. Therefore this index may be for a first-year Hebrew grammar student but certainly not for a postgraduate student who need a serious comparative research training.
